Garden of Gethsemane

From Conservapedia

The Garden of Gethsemane (Gethsemani), is the place where Our Lord Jesus Christ retreated to pray after the Last Supper. Knowing his time was short, Jesus prayed fervently while His disciples fell asleep. Jesus was taken away during the night by armed men sent by the Sanhedrin after Judas Iscariot betrayed him.

The word Gethsemane comes from the Hebrew "Gat Shemanim", which means "oil press". It was the name given to an olive orchard at the foot of The Mount Of Olives.
